Top 50 Gluten-Free Asian Dining Spots Across Illinois

The place itself was really clean, and the workers were super polite & nice!! Location is also good because you can buy a bowl and then walk on over to the lake, which is exactly what we did. In terms of food, I think there are better-tasting places and a better bang for your buck. This place is REALLY good for those who are gluten-free and also if you’re vegetarian. The amount of protein you get, especially if you opt for the salmon or crispy chicken, is VERY small. It is not worth the price you are paying. But, if you are vegetarian and care more for all the other toppings, you’ll be satisfied. I think this is a very unique place with its korean-inspired ingredients combined with a make-your-bowl experience. I love that i could get a quick fix of kimchi (although it wasn’t really authentic kimchi). The noodles were good, i would like to try the rice next time. Perhaps it’s also the combo of ingredients that you get that make a difference in taste. I wasn’t able to finish my bowl. Not sure. I would be willing to come back & try again but not for a while. Service was 5/5 though!

Love this place! They have gluten free, covered pretty well also. Food is excellent and the owner is usually hanging around enjoying his customers. Will definitely be back.

Ramen is delicious! They have rice noodles for gluten free. They also have Sapporo on tap, Two Brothers gluten free beer and few other gluten free options as well. Ramen are huge. It gets very busy on weekend nights but service is fast. We ate sitting at the bar and it was fun.

Lane Healy

Love it, gluten free!! Delicious

Rachel Dawes

Excellent authentic Viatnamese. Entire a-la-carte menu is GF. Ordered the Bún Chả Hanoi with spring rolls, delicious!

Matthew Foster

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Kaleigh Dolan

Wow! Food was incredible. We went for restaurant week and the menu was very pork heavy, but so delicious. The Pig Face dumplings were the best bites of the night. The restaurant week menu is so much food, you will leave stuffed. We added on the Crab Rangoon which was incredible. Freshly friend puff pastry with real crab, I would go back just for those! The dessert is not too miss either. We had a gluten allergy in our party and our waiter (Dan) went above and beyond in accommodating her, we will definitely be back. I got a tequila cocktail "Pink Panther" (?) and I would skip it next time, nothing to write home about for 17$.

I've been wanting to try this place for some time and finally made it! I have to eat gluten free not by choice. This is literally the first place I've ever been to where I can eat everything on the menu! Never had this option before this is awesome now I just wish there were more locations this one is 30 minutes away and not in a direction I typically go. I ate here with my 10-year-old and 12 year old. We each got a bowl. The lemon turmeric rice did not disappoint. One of my kids tried the glass noodles they were very good and fun. My kids did not try any of the sauces they thought overall there was a slight spiciness to the dish without adding anything extra. I tried the teriyaki it was good. Oh and don't forget the free miso soup, lovely bonus. The broth is excellent.

Sasha rodriguez

Absolutely delicious! Celiac/Gluten Free friendly. I appreciate the customer service, fresh ingredients, and gluten free sauce options. The space is clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excited to go back soon!

Courtney Hall

This is me and my hubs favorite place to grab a bite. I've been to and ordered from this location probably a dozen times at this point and the quality and taste are consistently amazing. We eat mostly whole did plant- based and love that we have plenty to choose from, and our family members who eat differently can still enjoy themselves. It's refreshing to have a restaurant that focuses on healthy food and is gluten-free! I would give them 10 stars if I could. 👍🏼👍🏼

Marlene M

Really good, healthy options, generous portions, gluten-free and vegetarian options too. Alex was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely eat here again.

Sarah W

Japanese BBQ spot with a separate GF menu and GF soy sauce!

Grace Joshua

Awesome gluten free sushi!

Kevin Carrington

Excellent! Will be back. It was my first time trying Burmese food and it didn't disappoint. Got medium spice on the ginger salad which was crunchy, spicy, and delicious. The tea leaf rice was a unique dish and very good. The menu has so many vegan and gluten free options too!

Jay Shipinski

The visit was a mixed bag. It is nice they have a gluten free dedicated fryer for my wife's dietary needs. The help was friendly and inviting, and the food was tasty. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the order. We found the crispy cheddar curds had more vegetables than cheese curds and the portions were not consistent as our party of 4 had considerably less food than the party of 2 had next to us (served at the same time at the bar). We saw another order about 20 minutes later, and it was the same amount as our neighbors (a mound heaping over the bowl at the bar as well). We all ordered burgers, and my daughter's and my burgers were mixed up (fortunately we caught it before eating) and neither of us had the pickles as stated on the menu. Additionally, my burger was over cooked (previous reviews we saw heralded how cooking temperature was spot on). They did take it back, remade it, and it was fantastic. The menu is very limited (8 entrees) so one wouldn't expect the various mix ups. Is it worth a shot coming here again. Yes. The staff and food is good, so I will consider giving it another shot.

The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

Deyton Chance

this was the most delectable experience ever!! all the food was so fresh it felt like i could taste its source. my friends and i were taking photos of our amazing meal and then…the manager comes over and asks if we would want to tag them in a post with one of their desserts on the house!! of course we agreed and not only was the dessert amazing but it was also vegan and gluten free along with many of the options on the menu. my friend who is vegan and gluten free and she said there was plenty of options for her and the staff was extremely accommodating! our waiter also went through the menu and explained everything in through detail since it was our first time. so overall 100/10 experience!!

Megan Benjamin

A lot of gluten free options! Quite delicious, though some dishes are a bit small compared to others. The soup is easily 3 portions.

Casey Lindenfeld

So delicious! All gluten free!!

Amie Krueger

Gluten Free Goodness after a show at the RIV! Sorry I was so hungry I forgot to take pics. They altered the brussels sprouts to make them gluten-free and they were amazing! I got three tacos: a chicken, steak, and duck. I ate the duck first because not everyone does duck very well and I didn’t want to end with it, however, I should have because the duck was the best of the three. The chicken was my second favorite, and I could have done without the steak… It was too well done and not much flavor. However, my friend did get a steak and that looked fabulous. The service was great, and the ambience was dark and charming.

Andrea Deptula

Sara gina was a great server. Thanks for all the gluten free food!

Paul Rzepka

Nice place with a separate gluten free menu and lunch specials. Something for everyone with sushi and Italian in one restaurant.

Jeremiah Perkins

Amazing restaurant with a lot of options for gluten free and veg food. Try their frites and cucumbers!!!

Justin Nixon

I’ve heard about this place for a couple years but finally got to try it. The food was really good. LOVED all the gluten free choices. Amazing! I will definitely be back.

Natalie Foster

We came here because my SIL has Celiacs disease and they safely prepared her meal and answered all our questions politely. 10/10 service

Timothy Hansen

Have been here twice and enjoyed each time. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. Food was delicious and fresh. We were seated and served immediately. Seats, tables, glasses, silverware and plates were very clean. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. Rolled ice cream and mochi were excellent

Codie Edwards

Both workers we interacted were so friendly and walked us thru the whole thing because it was our first time! Not to mention it being all gluten free and very delicious!

Qasem

Offers a great variety of options, with plenty to choose from across the menu. The quality of the fish was above average, and I especially enjoyed the Thriller Roll, definitely the highlight of the meal. The atmosphere was a bit loud for most of the time, but overall, it was a solid experience. Have a full gluten free menu. I plan to come back and try more dishes next time.

Nora Grutzius

Love that everything is gluten free! All tastes great. I am able to get vegan options too. Service is great too. Everyone is friendly.

Josie G

Love Big Bowl! It was awesome to find a Big Bowl location in Lincolnshire while traveling. As usual, I had the Chef’s Choice stir fry and it was delicious. It was my birthday, and our waiter brought out a candle with our gluten free chocolate cake dessert which was a fun feature. It’s always a treat eating here! Highly recommend to anyone who loves Thai food! Just wish they would bring back the build your own stir fry bar. It’s been gone since Covid.

Maria Alejandra Meneses Giorgi

This was one of my best experiences in Chicago, the food is awesome, the waiter was super kind and helpful when explaining the gluten free options and the vibes and music are amazing. Highly recommended if you are around the River North area

Lillie Bennett

So nice that it’s all gluten free! As someone with a severe allergy, makes it quick and easy and I don’t have to worry.

Carolyn B

Dedicated gluten free. Delicious food, clean, knowledgeable helpful owner. Healthy too! Thankful for this place.

Tara Davis

Amazing food and can make most anything gluten free

We have been here 3x just this week. This place is UNREAL. 1st - support your local businesses. These bowls start to finish are fantastic. This is our new take out. The options, freshness, protein are all incredible. The sauces are very, very good ! There are so many options - it's very easy to mix it up and not always eat the same thing. Purple rice to vermicelli noodles are all outstanding as well as the free miso soup. Give this a place a try - it will not be your last ! Service is impeccable. Everyone I dealt with was 10 out of 10 stars. They really go out of their way as well as the nice portion sizes. I had a small minor snafu and they gifted me a free bowl which wasn't even necessary but very thoughtful of them. Skip Chipolte -- go to Bibibop Asian Grille. Overall very healthy, veg options and gluten free. Wished I knew of them sooner !!!!!!! 10 stars. Will be here for the 4th time this week because I am taking my husband there. Not sure how anyone could find one thing negative about Bibibop Grill.

Mat Steuer

Aleksis was AMAZING! Made our party feel at home and welcome. Drinks and food were so good and flavorful. Gluten Free options are great too! :)

marissa hussey

as a party of 5 we ordered marinated cucumbers, crab rangoons, dry-fried green beans, combo fried rice, dry chili chicken, sweet and sour shrimp, and gluten free rolled noodles! we all ordered different cocktails and loved them all - smoke rings was delish. we had a gluten free friend at the table and they were great about allergies! with a cocktail + 7 plates + dessert it was less than $50/each. cant wait to come back and ordered as many new dishes as possible. flavors here are incredible!

Joss Zavala

They have a great gluten-free menu! I love this place!

Callie Bunker

Similar essence to a chipotle but for Korean food. The food was hot and fresh. The pork belly was incredible. Gluten free items are clearly labeled on the menu. You can either order at the counter or at the ordering kiosk. Will definitely be back to work my way through the menu!

Megan G

My husband and I ate dinner here on a Sunday and had a pretty good experience. I have gluten and dairy food allergies so I wanted to make sure I could get gluten free rolls and I was able to. The hostess was clueless and couldn’t even tell us if there were gluten free options, nor could she bother to put in the effort to hand my husband a menu when he asked. I wonder how many people with gluten allergies have not stopped here because of her since she was working during both our treks through the airport. Other than her terrible attitude, the waitress was very sweet and attentive and reassured us that the rolls could be made gluten free and the chefs were good about gluten allergies. She did mention that any of the rolls could be made gluten free and I believe the bowls can be gluten free also. We ordered 3 rolls to share (2 gluten free) and I had no issues at all. The portion size was large and the rolls were good- much better than supermarket sushi as other reviews have commented. They even had tamari. There wasn’t a lot of noise from people walking by and the chairs were pretty comfortable as well. If we have another layover at O’Hare while traveling, we will definitely be stopping again!

Gabrielle Kamil

Outstanding vegan restaurant. I especially enjoyed the green curry and the gluten free dumplings. I wish I lived closer. I'd come every day.

Vince Demma

Great gluten free menu! The curry is delicious!

Trixie O

I have a gluten and olive allergy. I called and they went through my options due to my allergies so I ordered few items from the gf menu. Everything was fresh, well packaged and delicious but most importantly it was safe. The delivery guy was also great. 👍🏼

Sarah Farber

Great food! Gluten free options! Dennis is the best server!

bob bob

Great place. Gluten free. 11/10. Fresh, fast, friendly!

Faith Williams

We have been twice, each time it was amazing. You can't go wrong with anything you get, and customer service was beyond expectations. They also tailored to our gluten free food allergy.

Michal Aharony

Great food, excellent service. Many gluten free options. I loved it! Highly recommend.

Amanda Casas

Wonderful gluten free desserts!

Diamond Nelson

Food is great. I love that they have a gluten free menu. However, I believe the restaurant should allow for other dishes included on the regular menu to have gluten free options. For example, I wanted shrimp and broccoli dish but gluten free. Although they mentioned it would be an easy thing to do, the workers mentioned the owner does not allow it.

Mehul Gilani

Request and confirmed that food was gluten free, but was contaminated despite this. We had gluten free Rama noodles, gluten free basil friend rice, and the panag curry (which we confirmed was gluten free with the restaurant).
